Fractals are algebraic equations (very often involving trigonometric functions, etc.) that when iterated, produce unusual and/or very nature-like "images" when plotted. Of course the advent of powerful computers has made the study of fractals much easier. You wouldn't want to try calculating one by hand.
I have rehosted all my fractal images to Flickr. A few of them (this one, in particular) had become popular as website/blog backgrounds, and though I am flattered, the hits to access these images was sucking up a lot of my bandwidth.
Feel free to use these images. Download them to your own site (preferred), or link to them on Flickr.
I used a program called FractInt. You can download this program from here. It's been around awhile, and it is considered the fractal generating implementation. There are other implementations, some for Windows, as well. Google "fractal" and see what you get.
